Matt Roush says...

The open-ended series finale of the dystopian allegory (based on Margaret Atwood‘s novel) reminds us that the battle never ends against oppression. “Not fighting is what got us Gilead in the first place,” says June (Elisabeth Moss, who directed the episode), who reflects on how far the handmaids and their fellow rebels have come, and how far they still have to go, in the wake of last week’s shockingly bold move against Gilead’s high commanders. The finale is an emotional exercise in reconciliation and even forgiveness, but until June is reunited with her beloved daughter Hannah, this handmaid’s tale is far from over.
